Technical infrastructure

Long-term sustainability of the content

Integration in catalogue systems and databases

The Software Open Journal Systems (OJS) enables a web-based management of e-journals, workings papers or other digital periodical publications. OJS covers the entire editorial workflow – from submission of an article and organization of a peer-review process, up to publication. The OJS interface is available in numerous languages.

The University Library Frankfurt will provide the basic set-up and the hosting of the platform as well as the long-term storage of the contents. Within the technical framework of OJS, an individual configuration of the layout is possible. In order to achieve high visibility the journal will be integrated in German and international catalogue systems and databases. Furthermore, the provisioning of persistent identifiers (DOI, URN) will ensure unambiguous citation and referencing.

Practical introductions to the OJS software as well as the maintenance of the infrastructure are part of the FID e-publishing service.
